MathType 6 for Windows
English, German French and Japanese editions.
MathType is a point and click mathematical equation editor. It is the full-featured version of the Equation Editor that comes with Microsoft Office and other products. While its mouse-centric user interface is somewhat the antithesis of TeX's, it has a number of features that may be of interest to members of the TeX community:
- It works with many Windows applications that TeX does not work directly with, such as word processors, presentation programs like PowerPoint, and many more. You can even place equations in flowcharts made with programs like Visio.
- It can produce TeX and LaTeX code from its equations. This can be helpful to someone learning TeX or just to take advantage of MathType's ability to work directly in math notation in order to get the nested braces right on a particularly gnarly equation.
- You can even type TeX language directly into the MathType window. This allows you to get the best of both the WYSIWYG editing and TeX worlds.
- MathType can also produce GIF files for websites and blogs and EPS files for desktop publishing chores.
MathType is supplied here as a 30-day evaluation. If you decide to purchase MathType, you can use the Order MathType command within MathType itself to purchase a product key.

MathType is a point and click math­e­mat­i­cal equa­tion ed­i­tor. It is
the full-fea­tured ver­sion of the Equa­tion Edi­tor that comes with
Mi­crosoft Of­fice and other prod­ucts. While its mouse-cen­tric user
in­ter­face is some­what the an­tithe­sis of TeX’s, it has a
num­ber of fea­tures that may be of in­ter­est to mem­bers of the TeX
com­mu­nity:
– It works with many Win­dows ap­pli­ca­tions that TeX does
not work di­rectly with, such as word pro­ces­sors, pre­sen­ta­tion
pro­grams like Pow­erPoint, and many more. You can even place
equa­tions in flowcharts made with pro­grams like Vi­sio.
– It can pro­duce TeX and LaTeX code from its equa­tions.
This can be help­ful to some­one learn­ing TeX or just to take
ad­van­tage of MathType’s abil­ity to work di­rectly in
math­emti­cal no­ta­tion in or­der to get the nested braces right on a
par­tic­u­larly gnarly equa­tion.
– You can even type TeX lan­guage di­rectly into the
MathType win­dow. This al­lows you to get the best of both the
WYSIWYG edit­ing and TeX worlds.
– MathType can also pro­duce GIF files for web­sites and
blogs and EPS files for desk­top pub­lish­ing chores.
